Invoke
@User:Jello: I notice your attempt to use invoke statements. You need to install the Scribunto extension to use them. It would be great if you did. I could do so much more with Template:DropTest if it were enabled ;) Templates written in the Lua Language also tend to run way more efficiently than MediaWiki language templates.

 * I have spoke to MilkN2Sugars. He said he will see what he can do this weekend to install Scribunto. Jello (talk) 17:29, 19 May 2016 (CDT)


 * @User:Jello, User:MilkN2Sugars: I look forward to it! So many templates could be improved and streamlined with Scribunto. For example, right now Template:DropTest can only show up to 7 items; if I were to re-write it in Lua, it could take unlimited numbers of items AND be able to combine results from multiple testers without clunky tags.

 * @ : I tried to add the about template to some pages to help people find the right pages when they end up on similar ones. Turns out that template is not on this wiki, so I figured I'd just create it and copy it from Wikipedia / WikiMedia.  No go. The actual template just uses   to call a module containing code that does the work, which means it needs Scribunto installed.  Are there still plans to install it?
 * (With CodeHydro's skill and contributions, I propose making him an admin, and then he should be able to install it.) ◕‿◕


 * Hey, in the meantime, is there a way to call a template from another wiki? Kind of like the  links, but with templates? -- Yoda  of  Borg  (ST Logo.png) 20:39, 31 August 2016 (CDT)
